This is a recursive function I made to draw purely CSS bar graphs. You pass it an array of data and the total amount, example:

$someData = array('Oranges'=>4, 'Apples'=>10);
$total = 14;
echo drawCSSGraph($someData, $total);

Also, you can pass it options in the form of an array or as space separated couples, exa:

//perfectly fine
echo drawCSSGraph($data, $total, 'height=20 width=300 color=#c0c0c0');
//works just as well
$options = array('height'=>20, 'width'=>300, 'color'=>'#c0c0c0');
echo drawCSSGraph($data, $total, $options);

Also, you can put [var] in the label which will be parsed out when the graph is drawn

$data = array('Data1: [var]'=>20, 'Data2: [var]'=>19);
echo drawCSSGraph($data, 39);
==>
    Data1: 20
    [graph here]
    Data2: 19
    [graph here]

It will detect whether you're making a vertical or horizontal bar graph and adjust accordingly. If you want it vertical just make the height greater than the width.
